React Basics

Details

React (from Facebook, Instagram) allows developers to create large web-applications that use data and can change over time without reloading the page. It aims primarily to provide speed, simplicity, and scalability. React processes only user interfaces in applications. This corresponds to View in the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and can be used in combination with other JavaScript libraries or frameworks in MVC.

This will be the first of four labs on React. Components, JSX, render, properties, state, and data binding are covered. You will need Visual Studio Code and Node.JS installed.
